title: [Facial injuries caused by dog bites in childhood. Clinical staging, therapy and prevention].
abstract: Dog bite injuries are a frequent cause of facial injuries in childhood. Between 1986 and 1990 we treated 16 children with facial dog bite injuries. Based on these experiences we suggest a clinical classification, corresponding therapeutic rules and prophylactic possibilities, summarized according to the literature. It is our aim to establish guidelines for the physician concerned with the therapy of these injuries, and advice to involved families.
